So It Begins, Facebook Censorship Underway

Last I heard Facebook was a private company that can restrict what is and what is not posted on its site.
Thanks for repeating what I said.
What you said was ignorant, wrong, and a lie.

The doctrine of free speech concerns solely the relationship between government and those governed, not between or among private persons or organizations.

Facebook is a private company, as such it cannot ‘violate’ the free speech of anyone; only government has the potential of violating free speech when it acts contrary to First Amendment jurisprudence.

Consequently, any reference to ‘free speech’ on your part is ignorant idiocy and a lie – the issue has nothing to do with ‘free speech.’

And the notion that ‘the left’ ‘hates’ free speech is a moronic lie as well; liberals have always been staunch advocates and defenders of free speech and the right of Americans to express themselves.

It’s also a lie that Facebook ‘represents’ ‘the left.’
Delusional as usual. Crawl back into your woman's bathroom safe zone and leave the adults alone.
From your moronic OP:

“As has been noted before, the left simply hate free speech and are extremely intolerant."

Wrong.

Any reference to ‘free speech’ is ignorant idiocy.

Your thread premise is a ridiculous lie.

Your thread premise fails.

And your propensity to lie is consistent with most on the reprehensible right.
Filed under "we won't bake that kind of cake"
Here’s something you and most others on the right are not familiar with: a fact.

Fact: your thread premise has failed.

If you want to salvage your idiotic thread, edit it to remove your ignorant reference to ‘free speech.’

Facebook is not the government, they can delete whatever they want. But they are a major social network, and the CEO of Facebook is publicly taking political sides on key issues in America. What gets censored will only increase now.

And yet if a business reserves the right to refuse service to anyone, and does, they get sued. huh.
This fails as a false comparison fallacy and a red herring fallacy.

It’s becoming more and more difficult to not come to the conclusion that ignorance and stupidity are indeed prerequisites for being a conservative, as your posts clearly illustrate.

In this case, as a consequence of your ignorance and stupidity, you’re confusing the doctrine of free speech with regard to First Amendment jurisprudence with that of public accommodations laws authorized by Commerce Clause jurisprudence, two legal realms one having nothing to do with the other.

Conservatism is indeed the bane of the American Nation.
Got it. Leftists can choose what to censor, Christians cannot.

Typical fascist blather.

Er... how many Christian sites censor what is written on their site? Hundreds? Thousands?

Good for Facebook :thup:
Maybe the USMB mods should censure your posts.
 
Considering that the poster is in Australia, perhaps FB thought some Aussie law came into effect, but was later rescinded?

You support the suppression of speech?
 
Facebook is using the public internet to broadcast their product. Also, it seems that Public Accommodation laws would require them to provide the same service to everyone or be in violation. Since the preacher is back on Facebook, perhaps it is because of those reasons.
 
Facebook...just a passing fad. Till the kids find a new site that they like the hype and etc. of 'caus it's new.

Some have. And I wasn't even spewing evil like that asshole on Facebook.
 
FaceBook sucks. And it is owned by a fucktard. Why anyone would trust that place with their most personal info is beyond my understanding.
 
Clayton = Blah, blah, blah leftist rhetoric, blah blah blah.
Employees of face book asked Zuckerburg what their "responsibility" is in making sure Trump isn't elected. Here is the answer to that question. You vote.

The method they would use to skew the election would be to start deleting pro Trump posts. < That is spitting on the 1st. Amendment, you dumbass.

How to avoid thinking, just make anyone who disagree with you into something you despise.

You dumb fuck! Quote the passages in his article that were evil. God you neoQueers (or are you old school queer?) have a fucked up sense of decency if you accuse this man is somehow evil because he and billions of others hold different views of homosexuality.

That's true for now and people are free to respond by finding something more worthwhile to do now that they know it's just a propaganda site.

A "fucktard" who happens to be immensely rich......
So you support Trump because he's rich?

The Facefuck CEO came out trashing Trump the other day, like his opinion actually matters. He's made it crystal clear he is very biased so if one enjoys that sort of thing, go for it. But many people still like making up their own mind.
 
Upon further review it is back online:

One person who did see Dickson’s original post and contacted Facebook was former human rights commissioner Tim Wilson, now the Liberal candidate for the seat of Goldstein in this year’s federal election. Wilson told The Australian, which has run a front-page story today suggesting Facebook “gagged same-sex debate”, that he contacted Facebook after “being made aware of it yesterday.” Dickson told Eternity he had not contacted Wilson.

Wilson is a strong supporter of same-sex marriage but has been vocal about the need to protect individual belief and religious freedom. “We cannot protect the rights of one group of people by denying the rights of another group,” Wilson said in an interview with The Australian‘s Inquirer section last year. He told The Australian last night that his instinct was to “defend free speech.”

Dickson told Eternity that he believes it was only because of Tim Wilson’s intervention that his post was reinstated at 8.30pm on Sunday night, along with all the comments. “I had written to Facebook, and they hadn’t gotten back to me.”

In an email, Facebook told Dickson that “a member of our team accidentally removed something you posted on Facebook. This was a mistake, and we sincerely apologise for this error. We’ve since restored the content, and you should now be able to see it.”

Facebook deletes John Dickson post on same-sex marriage, then reinstates it

Christians are sued all of the time for not catering to perverts.

EHarmony sued for excluding same-sex matches
